Tom Kruse and the Birdsville Track
“In another life (it was back in the 1960s – so that really is another life in another country) I worked for the Commonwealth Department of Education and Science as an “Induction Officer” (I think that was what it was called) which involved an endless string of three day assignments designed to introduce overseas students (mostly on the Colombo Plan or the Special African Assistance Plan) to the mysteries of Australia.
We would take them off to set up a bank account – with the Commonwealth Bank (of course) in Martin Place; treat them to an Aussie meal at Cahills in Castlereagh Street – Chicken Maryland was a favourite ; take them to Gowings to buy some suitable Aussie clothes (this is getting funnier as a write it); take them for a ferry trip on Sydney Harbour; and show them a couple of short movies about Australia.”
One of the movies, which I must have seen at least 100 times, was Back of Beyond. It was a documentary which had been made in 1952 and it told the story of a man named Tom Kruse who, long before four wheel drive vehicles, drove an old truck from Marree in northern South Australia across the deserts, flooded rivers, sand dunes as high as mountains and other miscellaneous obstacles, to Birdsville once a fortnight. The distance was 519 km.
The road was nothing more than a rough track which had been created by the Afghan camel drivers who lived in Marree and had used camels to cross the desert to Birdsville.
Tom was employed by the postal service to deliver the mail – the truck had ‘Royal Mail’ on the front – and supplies to Birdsville. He started doing the fortnightly run in 1936.
I didn’t realise at the time, when I was watching it every couple of days, that it had won the 1954 Venice Biennale Grand Prix Assoluto and that the artist, Sidney Nolan, a friend of the director, accepted the award.
The film was, and remains, a remarkable record of the hardships and ingenuity involved in taking mail and supplies across a desert prone to flooding, being bogged in sand dunes and breaking down hundreds of kilometres from any assistance. There is an extract from the documentary which can be watched on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSa4esN3CHM. Well worth checking out.
Kruse was, by any measure, a truly remarkable Australian. He lived until he was 96 and was there when the Governor General unveiled a statue to the tireless mailman at the National Motor Museum in Birdwood, South Australia.
In 1999, when he was aged 85, Kruse made the journey for the last time. It was recorded in the film Last Mail from Birdsville. It is a unique piece of Australian history and Kruse, by any measure, is as close to an authentic legend as this country will ever see.
Want to learn more? There’s a site dedicated to Tom Kruse. Check it out at http://www.lastmailfrombirdsville.com
Umm… yeah.. That lady may not quite know when 4×4 vehicles entered service.
Mr. Kruse’ Leyland Badger was 6×4 & his Blitz 4×4.
A truly remarkable man.
Next May, I will be towing our caravan up the B’ville track and will enjoy every nanosecond of the journey. Harsh but beautiful country.
Sal, the vehicle bottom left of the picture – is that his, restored?
His Leyland was restored and, IIRC, in time for the 1999 reenactment.
My Father went with him on the way to his first full time job, as a Jackeroo. He was 15 at the time. It would have been 1941.

The closeness of polling (admittedly it’s a bit suspect) in the USA tells me the nation is divided to a point of no return. It’s a very worrying sign that there’s likely no way back to the USA of old. By old I mean mid-last-century!
Mark Levin did a devastating rant about how bad the Democrats have been and for how long. Today we read that Arnie is endorsing Kamala! He’s only an actor, but has been a governor and was notionally a Republican.
I’m a little consoled however that Naomi Wolf has jumped the other way and endorsed Trump. She obviously has more intellectual weight than Arnie.
Of course Arnie would endorse the wife of a man who also impregnated the home help. Such men need to stick together. But not only that, the wives, or ex-wife in Arnie’s case, of such men stick together. Maria Shriver had organised and emceed an event for Kamala a couple of weeks ago. All so cosy but then it was only unimportant people like maids and nannies.
Anyone has “more intellectual weight than Arnie”.
Can’t remember the movie but Arnie complained there were too many lines to remember. Possibly Conan, in which he hardly spoke.
Judging from the MSG Trump event, including both the number of people who were queuing for a look, and also how small the “protest” was, there’s a good chance Trump may get the national popular vote.
Which, as I’ve said before, means that all states in the “we vote for national popular vote winner” anti-constitutionalists – which includes CA, IL and NY as the biggest 3 – will be required to send DJT electoral college vote electors. Lefty heads will explode, and if they refuse, you can bet they’ll be going to court over it – to SCOTUS if required.

Whittle is no working class lad or yob, rather he’s a measured thoughtful conservative middle Englander who just so happens to be gay, perhaps the least interesting thing about him.
He speaks truth – this British government is at war with the citizenry. I don’t care how or where he plays hide the sausage – Truth and the facts are paramount.
Being gay may not interest you, living in Islamic Britistan, it may interest others of a homophobic persuasion.
Oops, there I go being Islamaphobic again.
Thought it was parody.
But no.
Some serious ratio’ing going on there.
It’s obvious that the same ballot shenanigans that occurred in 2020 are happening again. Some states are taking corrective action and the Supreme Court has issued a ruling that some votes are not kosher, which serves as a warning that they might take some notice this time as against zero last time.
Fluffy Annaliese seems to be saying that casting doubts on the election process is the work of troublemakers, and nyah nyah none of Trump’s legal cases last time bore fruit. She then adds her usual splash of lefty vox pop sauce in the shape of a voter who is concerned with “inclusion” and the welfare of “migrants”.
What a fantastic painting Dover.
I see a Victorian teen, who committed a vandal attack (involving arson, lucky no one was hurt) on Jewish MP Josh Burns’ office, will face no prison time and will instead ‘undergo a diversion assessment‘ (whatever that is, sounds like wank to me). The Oz is reporting that the young offender has expressed “regret, shame and embarrassment” over the charges against him.
Gosh, threatening Jews, stalking Jews, attacking Jewish MP’s offices, and the only punishment you’ll receive is gentle admonishment.
Who reckons the same leniency would have been applied had the MP been a Muslim? We all know the answer to that.
The Oz is reporting that the young offender has expressed “regret, shame and embarrassment”
over the charges against him.over being caught.FTFY.
If I were an MP I’d have him (and those blockading other politicians’ offices) up before the privileges committee for contempt of parliament (i.e. obstructing the work of an MP). It’s often overlooked that the privileges committee can send someone to prison for contempt.

US election: Why Kevin Rudd must go if Donald Trump wins
Senior diplomatic sources have revealed who would need to replace Kevin Rudd as the ambassador to the US if Donald Trump wins the US election.
Australia must replace Kevin Rudd with Tony Abbott or Joe Hockey as ambassador to the US if Donald Trump wins the election next week, senior diplomatic sources say.
A second Trump term would up-end the Federal Labor Government’s relationship with Washington, they say, with Mr Rudd having called the former president a “traitor to the west”.
“Joe Hockey gets on famously with Trump but he’s making a lot of money with Bondi partners, he may not want to do a second act,” a well placed diplomatic source said.
“But one person who would be perfect, and could be persuaded, is Tony Abbott.”
Mr Trump called Kevin Rudd “nasty” and “not the brightest bulb” during an interview with British political figure Nigel Farage in March.
He also said Mr Rudd would “not last long” if he was re-elected.
Under a section of the public service act, all ambassadors are appointed on a “non-continuous basis” meaning they can be called back at any time.

Further to the curiously named ‘undergo a diversion assessment‘, Josh Burns’ electoral office wasn’t firebombed because he is a Labor MP. Oh no, let’s get this straight, it was firebombed because Burns is a Jew, and a Zionist Jew at that. Tut tut.
Am I allowed to be somewhat curious as to what this ‘diversion assessment‘ will entail for the young lad? I could offer some basic suggestions, I’m even happy to offer my services to instruct the young lad on some basic history. Methinks he needs some lessons about the history of Judaism and Zionism, and how Judaism IS Zionism. And then he needs some lessons on Jewish history, the pogroms, the mass murder, the mass expulsions and then round it off with a confronting lesson on Nazi Germany, and show the young ‘lost’ lad firstly pictures and footage of how the homes and businesses of Jews were set alight, most infamously on Kristellnacht, and then show the young lad pictures, footage and reports of the mass deportations to extermination camps where Jews were slaughtered, some six million. Perhaps even a visit to the Melbourne Jewish museum might be in order.
But no folks, don’t worry, this diversion assessment will simply be a progesssive woke wank diversion from the TRUTH.

The discussion in this on the various underhand ways that election fraud is endemic in the American electoral system is thoroughly discussed.
And it’s happening, as the finding of over 150,000 fake votes in Michigan right now shows. At least they have been found.
As we say here – ‘the price of liberty is eternal vigilance’.
I hope the Republicans have enough people doing vigilance on voting in 2024. And for that matter, we get the multiple voting system here in Australia, although we don’t have the multiple printing of ballots that happens in the US. Voter ID and ballot watermarking (as with currency) is long over due. Trump will certainly introduce this and other security measure if he can make it to the White House this time. So very American who cares for their country should get out and vote Trump in, making his result too big to rig. There may never be another opportunity to do this once 20 million illegal immigrants, and more who will keep coming, get to vote under Kamala Harris’ puppet term as President.

No. That and screeching “Nazis” are all that they have.

Katie Hopkins: The Big Lie. The Southport cover up goes WAY DEEPER than ‘Welsh Christian’
“The New Dealers War”, by Thomas Fleming, featured at the head of this thread, makes interesting reading. Seems Roosevelt’s policy, of “unconditional surrender,” announced at the summit conference at Casablanca in 1943, dumbfounded and appalled Churchill, Eisenhower and Marshall. The policy doomed the hopes of the German Resistance for a Coup which would have ended the war in 1943, saving millions of lives…..
I’m with Roosevelt on this one. If the Germans offed Hitler and agreed to an armistice Stalin would wait about a month for them to conveniently withdraw and disarm, then he would find a pretext to disavow the agreement and the next thing would be T-34s in Paris. In 1943 the Allies had no nukes and insufficient forces to stop a surprise Soviet attack.
Interesting comment – I have heard it said that the rationale for the launching of D-Day was to keep the Russians out of France.
I doubt that in 1943 Russia had the forces & armament to advance .. It wasn’t until after Stalingrad & Kursk that Russia got its act together enuf to act independently .. mid ’44 would be a more realistic timeline ……….
Hmm. No mention of a certain Pacific spat which was ongoing.
Probably of interest to Roosevelt,too.

Remember in the last election, despite having the most lacklustre dotard who could not even fill a carpark of people sitting in their cars while Trump filled stadiums with many more gathered outside, the Dimocrats were strangely calm and confident. They knew they had it sorted.
This time there is desperation. They are not sure if all their contrivances and trickery will work.

Well may they call him Tennis Albo – another return over the net to him:
Opposition home affairs spokesman James Paterson has blasted Anthony Albanese for the “carefully worded statement” his office issued on Wednesday in response to questions about the Prime Minister’s relationship with then Qantas chief executive Alan Joyce.
That statement said Mr Albanese “did not ever call Alan Joyce seeking an upgrade”. Mr Albanese’s office has since clarified the statement, saying no other forms of communication were used either.
Senator Paterson said there were still questions to be answered and that Mr Albanese should refer himself to the federal corruption watchdog so the issue could be “adequately investigated”.
“I honestly wonder how dumb the Prime Minister’s office thinks the Australian people are that they’ll be fooled by such a carefully worded statement, which doesn’t go to the core of the issue at all,” he told Sky News.
“I mean, we could tell when the Prime Minister was asked about this at his press conference on Tuesday that he had something to hide because he was being incredibly evasive and he failed to answer this question when he was asked directly repeatedly.
“The only thing the Prime Minister’s office has ruled out on his behalf is he didn’t call Alan Joyce asking for an upgrade.
“They haven’t ruled out that he sent Alan Joyce a text message or an email or that he contacted anyone else in senior management at Qantas by any means or that any of his staff contacted anyone at Qantas soliciting an upgrade.
“And this is what is different about his behaviour compared to any other politician’s behaviour. He appears to have solicited upgrades while he was the minister or shadow minister responsible for regulating Qantas and subsequently his government presided over a decision that was favourable to Qantas but came at the cost of the public interest by blocking competition for Qantas and driving up prices for Australians.”

Yet Israel didn’t lose a single plane in that amazing attack.
We’ll see how the next volley from the Terrorist State of Irangoes.
Is the PM’s office seriously suggesting his many upgrades came out of thin air?
We need a full list of them, plus the usual cost of each.
It looks at a preliminary glance like Albo received benefits of between $100-200,000, while at the same time giving favours to his Qantas mates.

Normally the left can just insult and abuse their opponents with impunity. Now their opponents are laughing at them.

Happened upon a video by a Norwegian Anglophile novelist (Bjorn Andreas Bull-Hansen; published in a dozen or so European languages but not English!) last night.
After a recent visit he now describes England as a low trust society due to 3rd world mass immigration, with the effects exacerbated by the class system due to native born working class not seeing the benefits of immigration.

Trump and the Garbage.
He just keeps on putting the Democrats into the tip.
I’ve been spending much of my spare time catching up with JD Vance videos with podcasters, so much so that Hairy, miffed, asks me if he should grow a beard (lol). Vance is super-relaxed in these, using colloquial swear words often, and offers some crucial insights into how a Trump Presidency would deal with varous issues, including immigrant returns, international wars (especially any threat to Taiwan’s chip industry), and various major financial reworks of the American system.
Well worth seeing them, in particular the one a week ago with Theo Von – check it out if it’s not already been posted, and this one I’ve just viewed with Tim Dillon. They are long and discursive and show Vance as a thinker (probably yet to be blooded with the reality of what he faces) and as a doer. I think he has a very strong influence on Trump, and vice versa (to date anyway; sparks may fly in the future).
Vance adds a lot of young and Trump-averse voters to the final mix of Trump, Kennedy and Vance. The comments on these podcasts are also worth a dekko. There seems to be some view that Baron Trump has been instrumental in encouraging JD to do these podcasts.
Hairy should road test a short Vance style beard. It might pay a dividend!
Vance named his son Vivek, the two are great friends. Trump will leave behind a decent legacy.
The WIP is going to be chock full of garbage.

I used to be with Telstra for internet before we had the offer we couldn’t refuse from the you beaut NBN. Yeah, that same one that Malcolm couldn’t muster much of a word against beyond “no cost-benefit analysis” when he could have shot it down in flames.
Since the NBN took over it has been at best no better than what we had before with Telstra, and at least once a week we have interruptions to service because NBN scrabblers are frigging around with the cables!
I notice it every time because we rely on the internet now for Fox and Sky News.
STARLINK!
Also, you can organise through Telstra now. $24 a month cheaper and free landline.
Trump will win in the biggest landslide in history..
Don’t be too sure, Your Arkiness.
All the problems that were apparent last election – dodgy machines, multiple votes from one address, dodgy votes from dodgy electoral rolls, are still here and more every day are appearing.
Even if the top men in the Democrat party wanted to stop the cheating, the states can’t and won’t stop it.
It’s like tapping your knee with a hammer. The reflex happens no matter how much you try to stop it.
I’m not making any predictions at all apart from if Trump doesn’t get in, there will be war.

There was never a Covid pandemic.
They literally just rebranded the flu.
Given the Australian government shut down the economy, held people prisoner in their homes and forced them to take poison in response to a fake pandemic, they couldn’t not do an inquiry.
This “Inquiry” has just handed down its report, delivering the shocking finding that after lying repeatedly to us, nobody believes the government anymore.
No, it is a real coronavirus. Given me misery for the last two or so years due to a variant of long Covid. Very different from the flu. As you might guess I don’t much like the Chinese government who inflicted me with this.
In terms of severity though flu and covid are very similar. The “pandemic” lockdowns were abhorrently unjustified.
Totally agree with BoN. Even the most ardent critics of the vax program amongst eminent epidemiologists and virologists all agree that this is a novel coronavirus – almost certainly derived from the animal world and modified through gain-of-function manipulation to be particularly contagious to humans. The Wuhan lab theory has been thoroughly researched and verified.
I have had this virus and agree with BoN that it was unlike any flu I have had. I have never coughed so violently – it was as if the body was saying “I really don’t like this!” My GP nodded when I described this – & muttered, “Well, its not natural, is it?”
This virus has been extensively studied – including it’s post viral effects on some people, as BoN noted. The work of Emeritus Professor Bob Clancy of Newcastle University is one of the best analyses.
Just on censorship matters – is anyone having trouble accessing the Joe Rogan Fatty Trump Experience? From Mark Steyn:
I just did a simple google search and the video came up as the first item in the list – below some crappy news stories which didn’t even need to be scrolled past.
I’m presuming the blatant censorship of these types of news items is far more prevalent overseas?
No wonder we need labore’s misinformation/disinformation legislation. Otherwise it will be dogs and cats living together (after fleeing various towns in middle America) and mass hysteria – and we wouldn’t want any of that, kiddies!

As I recall one of the knock shop tabs came to several thousand dollars (about $3k if memory serves me correctly).
There are a number of possibilities here.
Firstly, Thommo has the stamina of a breeding bull and “pleasured” multiple ladies (hardly likely).
Secondly, Thommo has some rather distasteful fetishises which attract a considerable premium on the tariff (entirely possible).
Or thirdly – and this is my red-hot favourite – several colleagues visited the knock shop but all services rendered were clocked up on Thommo’s card.
It would be interesting to know who was in Thommo’s knock shop party.
Great to see that forensic mind at work, Sancho.

And today is Reformation Day, commemorating Martin Luther nailing his Ninety-Five Theses on the Power and Efficacy of Indulgences to the noticeboard on All Saints Church door in the university town of Wittenberg, inviting a debate on the topic.
It is probably not coincidental that Luther chose this day – All Hallows’ Eve (from which we derive Halloween) – in the church year to do so, but I’ll leave it to interested Cats to do their own research as to why this might be the case.
Albrecht Dürer’s 1510 painting featured on ihis blog today was the reason for my comment re All Saints Day.
Dürer’s writings suggest that he may have been sympathetic to Luther’s ideas, though it is unclear if he ever left the Catholic Church.
Wiki (Dürer and the Reformation)
Yes, I thought so, P. It’s a remarkable piece.
Durer may indeed have been a crypto-Lutheran.
Be that as it may, he was a brilliant artist.
Incidentally, Anglicans & Lutherans celebrate All Saints too.

If Trump gets beat based on this massive cheating will have occurred especially since now ballots received after the voting day cannot be counted.

Cernovich is picking up on the Harris move of targeting Republican-registered women and telling them to vote against Trump while they are alone in the voting booth, despite their husbands ordering them to stay the course.
No one really knows how successful this will be as a strategy. It worked the last two times in 20 and 22, Trump and SCOTUS have only gotten worse, so it makes sense for Harris to concentrate on flipping and holding suburban women.
The Gimp thinks that women are open to lies and cheats.
The Gimp is a woman hating misogynist, probably because it has no dick.
And as for “flipping and holding” women, is this some gross sexual kink.
Pussy vote!
Who were the idiots that allowed these fraud machines to be used in the first place? These machines should have been banned after the 2020 abomination.
What a joke.
Northern Territory government to review Sentencing Act following string of alleged DV murdersLiam Mendes
18 hours ago.
Updated 17 hours ago

A brutal domestic violence incident takes place in broad daylight on the grass outside the Town Council Chambers in Alice Springs.
It’s just past 2pm on Thursday in Alice Springs and a woman is lying on the grass in front of the Town Council Chambers. Standing over the woman, her partner – with a string of convictions and jail time for violent offending – is physically assaulting her.
The all-too-familiar scene played out as the Northern Territory government announced it would review the Sentencing Act after The Australian revealed a string of murders in the Territory were allegedly committed by men with violent criminal histories who could have still been in custody had they received lengthier sentences.
In the violent episode, captured on video last week, the man grabs his 44-year-old partner as she cowers in fear. Several witnesses ignore the woman’s plight, apparently desensitised to what they are seeing.
No one comes to the woman’s aid until one passer-by steps in to confront the attacker.
“Oi, get off her,” the bystander yells in video obtained by The Australian.
The perpetrator walks away, and the good Samaritan gives the woman some water – an act of kindness that appears to infuriate her partner.
“Who the f..k are you?” he yells repeatedly as he approaches the man in a menacing manner.
“Back up and f..k off, you f..k off, that’s my f..king wife,” he says.
“I’m giving her water,” the man replies.
“I want to f..king punch you right now,” the assailant tells him.
Shortly after, the man is tackled to the ground by police and taken to the lockup for a night. The following day he is released by a NT Local Court Judge on a three-month suspended sentence, with a six-month good behaviour bond.
It’s another line item in a crowded rap-sheet, after he was sentenced to six months in prison in 2023 for aggravated assault, breaching a domestic violence order. In the past few years he has racked up multiple convictions for aggravated assault and breaching a DVO, for which he spent time in jail and served a good behaviour bond.
The judiciary has much to answer for and yet seem to be unaccountable for their obvious mis-judgements.
A pox on them. And their supine invertebrate political ‘masters’.
It will only change if they were beating on white women.
My half niece was killed in a town camp in Alice after 20 years of domestic violence. Shamefully sad.
Four years ago (hard to believe it, how time flies), I sat with some other Cats at a CPAC function here in Sydney and watched the US election results come in. Most in the room that day expected Trump to win. I was not so sure, my gut feeling prior to and on the day was that something would go wrong. I was fearful, I did not share the dominant euphoric belief that Trump would be elected in a landslide or that he would be re-elected at all. My gut feeling was proved correct. I didn’t want to be right but I was.
I make no predictions for next week, Trump might win but then again he might not. I hope Trump does win however I am prepared for the worst, which is that Kamala Harris will be the next POTUS. And then we can kiss goodbye to both America and the West. The progressive coup d’état will be complete.
Could you imagine Harris staring down or carrying any weight with Putin and Xi Jinping?
No, I couldn’t either.
Start WWIII?
Quite possibly.
And not a shot fired. May as well erase the 2A.
Nope, not me. Trump will win. I refuse to worry about any other outcome.
I was gnawing fingernails with you on that night, Cassie, and I still am doing so. Nervous as all get out about the Big Steal that’s coming. As the day approaches and they’re finding steals already, even Hairy, who has held the fort so valiantly for Trump without any deflection since the beginning this time, while we were all wondering about De Santis or others, is now beginning to look at the start of the steal that’s happening already and can only grow, and he’s getting downhearted.
Guess we have to keep positive until we know for sure that’s it’s been too big to rig. But it will have to be huge in that case. I’m with Liz Storer on the woman thing. She’s said she’d happily give up her vote this time and leave it to the guys if it would ensure Trump could get in as he should without the stupid women impressed by the fluffhead and the MSM’s relentless TDS.
We have to have a plan post-defeat for if/when the worst happens.
Harris making sense? Kamaltoe couldn’t flip a burger without screwing up, Fatboy. Obviously she’s getting help.
Obviously she is a total puppet. Obama Mark Whatever coming up again?

I can hear the sound of one hand fapping.
Monty doesn’t understand Trump’s trolling.
Pathetic.
Any comment on the old WH pedo biting babies?
Did you see the Rogan interview where Trump stated he has 60 papers proving election fraud? No-one has seen those papers. Just like his health policy, his tax returns, his medical records, his academic record.
Extremely unlikely.
One of the interesting things to emerge post-Israeli strike is that one of the directions of the attack was out of the Caspian Sea for the sites near Tehran which puts the Azeris in play.
That seems unlikely, although Israel has been working hard to get the Azeris on side. Divide and conquer, as it were. Not much love between them and the mullahs. That did however bite the Israelis on the bum when the Azeris got all genocidal viz the Christians in Nagorno-Karabakh.
But diplomacy is not with risks. I don’t blame the Israelis for trying to dilute the enemy as much as possible.
Fun that November is Climapalooza month…in Baku.
I see the Georgian President continues to make a fool of herself:
I think she’s right – it’s the investigative body’s duty to gather proof, not the other way around.
Why do you think otherwise?
Because she’s making the claim that there was electoral fraud but neither has any leads nor evidence. She’s lost the plot.
Just disbursed a dozen chockies to interestingly dressed small personages. Whilst surrounded by birds, it being the Cafe. Entertaining episode! The essential fashion accessory this year is an orange plastic pumpkin shaped bucket for which the collection of yummy stuff into.

The pumpkin buckets were an Aldi special this week.
I was accosted by a large orange and black dinosaur, but he went away after being placated by a chockie.

I f*cking hate Halloween.
The Marxists have gutted Christmas.
Growing up there used to be decorations in every shop and every town main street.

Yet now we have all this stupid gruesome death and witchcraft shit every year.
F*ck off.
I don’t approve of it particularly but nonetheless it adds a bit of community bonhomie that is otherwise sadly lacking these days.
Nice that several bunches of kids can wander around my suburb confidently, albeit with watching hawklike mums. Our cheap suburb used to be seedy but has nicely gentrified in the last decade or so.
It’s All Saints Day tomorrow. Pray for all departed souls today and pray to all saints tomorrow. We need their grace.
Indeed we do. All Souls Day on Saturday — the first Saturday of each month after midday Mass in St Mary’s Cathedral at 1pm the Men’s Rosary Crusade prays the Rosary in the forecourt of St Mary’s — men and their sons praying the Rosary together, they do this rain or shine. Very moving.
Many of these men were at George Cardinal Pell’s funeral. Many are from the Balkan states and wear the T-shirt of the Congregation of the Precious Blood of Jesus.
The US election Sportsbet odds as follows for electoral college votes( 270 votes to win)-
Orange Man
240-269 4.50
270-299 3.40
300-330 3.20
330-359 10.00
Cackling Succubus
210-239 3.30
240-269 3.50
270-299 4.50
300-329 6.00
330-359 21.00
So, in the absence of Armadillo it looks like the markets are betting around a 300 EC votes to give the Donald a win.
If you believe he will win with less than 330 votes then you can spread your bets so ,in the worst case you will get your money back.
I swear if our “betters” decided to start a holiday to sacrifice to ancient Mayan gods half these idiots would rock up to the town pyramid with their kiddies wearing jaguar heads.

More chockies disbursed, this time to a lady and three kids. Lady had an interesting accent so I asks “is your family from Jamaica? I have many relations there.” No she says, her family is from Paraguay.
It’s fascinating that a lady from Paraguay is wandering up my street in Newcastle on the opposite side of the world.

Someone leaked the meeting and was critical of Airbus Albo to the media:
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese moved to reassure ministers the saga over his Qantas upgrades will blow over, declaring he had done nothing wrong while hitting out at media reporting on the issue.
The Prime Minister addressed the issue at the opening of the meeting in Melbourne on Wednesday, assuring ministers he had not acted inappropriately in accepting flight upgrades and the media reporting had been unfair.
One person at the meeting told The Australian the monologue was even worse than his widely-panned press conference a day earlier, accusing the Prime Minister of rambling without having a clear objective of what his ministers should take away from the comments.
While there were ministers sympathetic to his plight, others are critical of how he has handled the issue since it was published in newspapers over the weekend.
Oz
Sounds like the beginning of the end. Only no hopers like Bowen and Gallagher spoken publicly in support. Could I be wrong?
What faction is Chalmers? Hard to see the Left rolling over just yet. They’ve been running the show Federally for years since Peanut Head blew it.
Right faction.
He may be busy in his seat given Qld election results. Can’t see him getting up though.
I’m heading over and will be in NYC on Election Day. Should be an interesting ride. We’ve been invited to an election party for drinks (and hopefully food). They’re solid Dems, so I’ll keep my mouth shut, seeing as we’re the visitors—although I think they suspect I’m not exactly a Kamaltoe supporter.
If, by luck, Trump looks like he might overcome the cheat margin and win, I’ll head over to Trump Tower just to see the scene, but I won’t be hanging around. It could get really ugly and you don’t want to be in the middle of a shooting match with bullets flying around.
Keep us posted.
Should be a hell of a day/night.
Take one of these; it’s Australian so you’ll be patriotic:
MPR Mini 223 Pump Action Rifle – Wedgetail Industries – We build the gear we want to use.
Yeah, it would be a great look, sauntering down 5th Ave, approaching Trump Tower carrying one of those. I’m sure that same night, Mayor Eric Adams would be giving a press conference about how the agile NYPD took down a Trump hater.
Take care over there, JC.
In the event the Democrats are unable to cheat their way to victory again I expect their supporters to get extremely nasty and violent.
It will make January 6 look like a garden party.
Which is close to what it was, before the Capitol Police got rough.
January 6 was one of the worst cases of a false flag operation I have ever heard of.
Yeah, I know Lee.
This has been one of the most momentous elections since Lincoln, and we’re living through it.
I can’t help but want to walk past Trump Tower if he does win—assuming the crowd isn’t enormous and I can get near the place. They might even close off that part of 5th Ave.
Have a fab time JC. The election party might not last long. Truly a historical time.

Anthony Albanese’s blanket denial that he sought flight upgrades has been described as “bulls**t” by a Qantas insider who claims his personal staff were in contact with the national carrier.
The Prime Minister has now categorically denied that he ever personally contacted the Qantas CEO Alan Joyce during his tenure as Transport minister to solicit flight upgrades and revealed an internal audit of his text messages confirms this.
It follows author Joe Aston’s claim in a new book called The Chairman’s Lounge that Mr Albanese dealt directly with Mr Joyce about his personal travel – a claim Mr Albanese now categorically denies.
The book revealed Mr Albanese received 22 flight upgrades since 2009, with nearly half involving private family holidays.
Mr Albanese has insisted in a carefully worded statement overnight that he never had contact with Mr Joyce over personal flights.
“The Prime Minister did not ever call Alan Joyce seeking an upgrade,’’ a spokesperson said.
“All travel has been appropriately declared and is a matter of public record.”
But in explosive new claims, a Qantas whistleblower said that people were “freaking out” over the Prime Minister’s blanket denials insisting that there was contact between his office and the airline over upgrades in previous years.
“I know because I know. It’s bulls**t. It did happen,’’ the Qantas insider said.
“We all knew about it. It’s very well known inside Qantas. (Former government relations executive) Andrew Parker used to get calls from Labor staffers as well about upgrades.
“If there’s senate inquiry and Alan Joyce goes he’s going to get asked.
Daily Tele
It’s not the crime – it’s the cover up that takes the scalps…
Talk about losing control of the narrative.
The leprechaun in a Senate committee under oath might be interesting. Plenty of people would be interested in ensuring that doesn’t happen.
He didn’t think of the consequences that may arrive on accepting the
flight upgrades. He could have said no thanks!
But living a life in a housing commission house i guess he feels entitled!
Hahaha. Watching the tape from last night’s show, Sharri Markson just doesn’t get Trump because he keeps “praising” dictators like the clown in North Korea.
Poor Sharri. As a reformed leftist after this year’s wave of anti-semitism in the West and Australia, you’d think one of her pals would shout her a copy of The Art Of The Deal.
Doesn’t Markson get it?
One of the first things Harris will do if elected will be to throw Israel under the bus.
They’re solid Dems, so I’ll keep my mouth shut

Makes sense.
In the wrong hands until two years ago, Twitter was an election-rigging propaganda system.
Dominion was conceived as an election-rigging system — the only way the Democratic Party can currently win elections.
He should say something to goad Dominion into suing him, then go full discovery on the Dominion code, and get his cybersec guys to go over it with a fine tooth comb.
There’d be vulnerabilities and backdoors all over the place. Would set electronic voting back decades, if not hopefully forever.

You’re not helping, Pete… you’ve dressed up as a reptile hoping that you’ll be eaten last. Insert serpent-Satan observation here.
I’m with resident tinker’n’cusser Arky, Halloween has arrived on our cul-de-sacs directly from K-Mart and Epstien’s Hollywood, and we proud Aussies should have no truck of it.
Our youngest has kicked up a stink because I won’t drive her to the suburbs to beg for sugar, because as I reasoned, she will expect to take without giving, and that’s bad juju and/or a route for bad actors to get access to kids who they have no love for.
Trump will win in the biggest landslide in history..
The reason you think that is because you have been getting your information from right leaning sources, and using common sense when viewing the principals talk.
If you got your information from left leaning sources you’d be much less inclined to that opinion..
It was moi who told everyone in 2020 that the Trump win was far from certain, while everyone here was celebrating prematurely.
It ‘twas moi who told you all Biden would see out his term. (I was a bit off in saying he would run again, but only because they stabbed him the back, if he could have he would).
It was me who predicted Trump in 2016, when everyone else believed the polls. I told you the polls were manipulated, then people said “look at the betting markets” and I said the betting markets work off the polls so don’t contain any extra information at that time.
It was me who said “It has to be Vance” before Trump announced his VP.
So you are right. I have to be wrong eventually, eh?
Wouldn’t ill-wish you, Arky, but in this case yes, I hope you are wrong. Couldn’t put money on it though.
You would really have to wonder if it is really mayonnaise on the burger.
She did tell us she did the cashier.
Some US dork “jismst”, thought he was on a winner when he claimed Trump had TWO Dukakis moments. Lol!!!

Just an update on the case (?) of the WA farmer t taken to court under the Aboriginal Heritage Act for crossing a “sacred” creek … on his own property!
He has posted this:
A hero that man. Talk about the eternal Sword of Damocles.
Setting the modern commercial & occult accretions aside, like Christmas, Halloween derives from the Christian liturgical calendar and medieval folk piety. As such, its celebration might provide a point of contact for the discussion of Christianity and “the life of the world to come” with people who otherwise give the subject little thought.
On the subject of Halloween, I have no doubt that somewhere in Australia there are marketing people working on ways to introduce Thanksgiving to this country.
If the voice had got up, it would have been perfect. A day on which Aussies could express their sincere thanks to the wonderful indigenous people for their welcome and assistance.
Introduce it to the kids and use them to pressure the older people into going along with it. Kids will be primed for it by a lifetime’s exposure to the endless Thanksgiving episodes of every single American series, every single year!
What a huge sales opportunity, costumes, gifts, mementos, etc.
I predict it will happen eventually.
I’ve been wondering for some time: will Christmas/ Easter holidays be abandoned for being culturally insensitive first or will it be Anzac Day. I used to think Anzac Day but now I’m not so sure.
My money is on Australia Day.
Australia Day is cooked. I’m in favour of just giving everybody 10 days a year to take whenever, although not
consecutively with the exception of recognised religious holidays. No penalty pay. I’ll continue to take Christian holidays. Will further erode sense of community, but we’re there already and I’d rather not submit to whatever pagan replacement they’re cooking up anyway.
So you are right. I have to be wrong eventually, eh?
I don’t say you’re wrong, I hope you’re not. But opinions are only as good as the information on which they are based. And the polarisation is intense.
The Trump / Rogan podcast has over 40 million views on YouTube, despite being suppressed.
It has probably been viewed over 100 million times if you include other platforms.
Twenty minutes scrolling the comments under the video yesterday I couldn’t find a single anti Trump comment.
Kam- a la la’s podcast with a lefty the day after received around 3 million views. Scrolling the comments underneath that video, were almost 100% negative.
I think the pollsters were in two minds as to whether to boost Kamalala, counting on the steal working, or boosting Trump in order to give his supporters the feeling that they don’t have to turn up because he has this. Just because something is manipulated, doesn’t mean it doesn’t contain information.
I’m confident because I’m going to make an assumption: That the Trump campaign will have actually put on the ground what they need to in order to contain the steal.
If my assumption is right, it’s a blowout.
No one in their right mind is showing up to vote for that daft witch.
Sadly, plenting have already turned up and voted for her, Arky.

Thanks Pogria – Just read Cernovich’s reposte — I just wish he hadn’t held back so much.
I saw a piece that dismissed it as Trump preaching to the choir.
But that’s quite a choir!
Thoroughly sick of Albo’s hard-scrabble story. The government put him up in a comfortable house in an inner city locale where he could groove with other trots. He went to a good school at the expense of a Church he disrespects. Not like he got punted to Moe and a life of throwing pigs heads at neighbours. You’d think he’d be grateful.
He has, after all, been on the public teat his whole life.
That not even as much as the amount of Kraken lawsuits he lost, LOL.

Whether or not Parchin still features in Iran’s nuclear weapons program, it once housed uranium. Nothing new about Ms Glick’s claim: it’s been an IAEA and NPT issue for years.

I have lost all respect for Ross Greenwood. He was on with Andrew Bolt just now and could not give a straight answer when Bolt asked him who would be better for the economy, Trump or Kamala. He actually launched into a Kamala-like word salad which said nothing. It’s clear he prefers Kamala but doesn’t want to appear ridiculous by saying so.
John Howard has makes it quite clear that he prefers shit for brains Kamala.
Kamala would lock up idiots like Howard in a heartbeat.
FFS, what has rotted the brains of so many so-called conservatives since Trump first became president?
It’s clear he prefers Kamala but doesn’t want to appear ridiculous by saying so.
Trump gives a lot of second raters an inferiority complex. Nobody feels inferior to kamala.
Outstanding!
Greenwood just another bolshie journo.
Following this will be the old ‘I had no control on what my idiot staffers did’ chestnut.
Merry Christmas, Mr Dutton.
Not only is Halloween both Fake and Gay, it’s suspiciously Catholic to boot. All that Dead Ancestor Worship, saint’s feasts, young fillies given rein to kick over the traces once in a while, wake up to nagging guilt…
And no, Australia will not adopt a First Nations Treaty Day, because it involves lotsa effort for a cold slice of negative feedback.

New book on the Cronulla riots which were presented by the media shits as white racism when in fact they were about muzzie aggression, attacks and hatred.
The Cronulla Riots: The Inside Story by Carl Scully and Mark
Bolta interviewed Goodwin and by the sounds of it calling out the army was on the cards as the muzzies run amuck.
Andrew Bolt is treating it like it is a new revelation when most of us knew what was going on at the time even if the Police and the media misrepresented the events.
Come to think of it, wasn’t Scully the Police Minister at the time? Is he now trying to expiate his sins?
iirc Greenwood used to have a show on 2GB called ‘money news’
I used to listen to it and it was very good. If he supports Kameltoe for pressie he knows very little about economics and business.

Vivek Ramaswamy takes garbage truck to Trump campaign event in NC
“I like to experience the universe as one harmonious whole. Every cell has life. Matter, too, has life; it is energy solidified. Our bodies are like prisons, and I look forward to be free, but I don’t speculate on what will happen to me. I live here now, and my responsibility is in this world now.”
~ Albert Einstein
Poor Albert. He should have spent less time sailing and more time walking in fields looking for mushrooms. A friend of mine recently was given ketamine for some treatment and said he felt one with the universe.
I don’t understand physicists and their metaphysical meanderings. Bohr had the Yin Yang symbol on his coat of arms, Dyson with hints of pan psychism but also possibly a theist, Einstein refused to be affiliated with any religion or atheism and referred to The Old One, yet above sounds like he’s been listening to Alan Watts. The modern craze that started with the physicist Capra’s The Tao of Physics. Capra was inspired by discussions with Heisenberg and very inspired by taking psychedelics. Some people experiencing psychedelics undergo profound changes in philosophy and emotions. All this reminds me of John Karlsson’s study which found mathematical creativity has a statistical association with psychosis, not to be confused with schizophrenia. Psychosis isn’t necessarily a bad thing, it may simply reflect a much more flexible mind.
Huh?
They deliberately entrapped people, calling them racists and gaoling them for telling the TRUTH. The worst enemy of the U.K. population is the government of the U.K.
EXPOSED: Shocking truth about Southport Massacre cover up by UK authorities, PM Keir Starmer & MSM
We went to see Lee today, the movie about photo-journalist Lee Miller in WWII.
Kate Winslet does an excellent job in the lead role, and overall the film is most commendable. Good attention to period detail; excellent photography, pace, and editing. Some Oscar material overall.
We’re not the “garbage.” We’re the garbage collectors.

New works atm are a PIA. I had to weave my way past the worksites to get to accom.
The Uber set up at the Int terminal needs management though, a bottleneck that I just stroll thru now avoiding the shunt inside Term 2 thru the customs outflow. Eff em.

Longish, but – Quenthland, you have some work to do (the CM):
A JURDGE-only trial. I would dearly like to know who made that decision.
Two scrotes, both armed mind you, smacked their way into a house occupied by normal people. This is what’s usually called (allegedly) a ‘joint criminal enterprise’. Then when the normal people tried to get said scrotes off their property, they were both stabbed. The lady (a wife and mother) was killed).
That’s because there isn’t.
The rationale for this baffling decision?
I’m sorry, but that’s bullshit. It’s no fault of the jacks, or – surprisingly – the prosecution:
The JURDGE:
Which is a wholly unsatisfactory method, in and of itself, of coming to conclusions of this type, taking into spatial distance and ignoring other evidence:
The message for homeowning taxpayers with children, which will be well and truly received, is this – you are absolutely on your own. Defend yourself and yours.
This will not end well. For scrotes.
Hope the effin useless jurdge gets stabbed.
Same treatment as unknown dogs that kill livestock.

Starmer’s Southport Shame.
A straight talker.
I realise I harp on about this, but if not for our media overlords, none of the moral corruption that exists within our polistocrisy would flourish as it does. It is the Filth Filter that colludes with the elites to undermine us all.
Allowing mild criticism of Albanese is only a sop to try and prove that they (the dinosaur media) are enjoy incestuous intimacy with our Lords and Ladies of Fire.
Also, the history of ‘Halloween’ in the US, something that has now become fashionable in this country (something we didn’t grow up with and which I’m not very comfortable with), stems from the very Protestant Puritans who took the practice of Halloween to the US when they sought refuge there back in the early 1600s.
The Irish too. They’ve always been big on Halloween – a hang-over of the auld ways to do with Faerie.
The English Puritans?
I don’t think so.
The Irish, more likely.
Of course they do.
They construct shrines to them in the tunnels built by kidnapped slave children, and conduct rituals every bingo night while wearing red leather shoes made from the skin of children worked to death.
To reprise a most excellent phrase from the ExCat:
‘Popery is afoot’.
Popery.
Yes, that was me reintroducing that term, way back when. Did it for linguistic historical reasons not for any religious exegesis. It continued then to have quite a run here.
Further to this new book on Cronulla, whilst most of us know that the facts around Cronulla were conveniently submerged and hidden to suit a political and religious narrative, it’s worth thinking of this, that political and media gaslighting began in earnest in this country after Cronulla, a complicit media, political and leftist class all united to push a false narrative.
Those of us with relatives and friends in the Shire always knew the truth of what happened that weekend in 2005.
We look askance at what’s emerged about Southport (we all knew), but the West has been on this gaslighting trajectory for decades, as evidenced by Cronulla.
It started earlier than that, with the pack rapes led by Bilal Skaf in 2000. The msm tried to cover it up big time. Margaret Cuneen was a heroine.
Good point.

I saw that cheap shot from the loon upthread.
No, they don’t.
They honour the dead, but that’s as far as it goes.
If the loon thinks “weirdo Cafflicks” are the biggest problem we face, he hasn’t been paying attention.

Definitely different, although I and my family found it less severe than flu. The first time was comparable to a cold with the symptoms’ order all messed up and I pretty much slept for the first day. Shorter recovery time than a cold though (which is usually around 10 days for me) and each time seems shorter and less severe than the last. A week to two and it’s a cold. A few days? Must be covid. I probably got covid about four times while avoiding jabs like I’m in that bullfighter meme. Natural immunity seems to be working well for me. 🙂
I’ve never had Covid, and never had a jab.
And I’m O+ as well.
